Retinol intake, bone mineral density and falls in elderly women

Creator:

Gramer, Carrie M.

Abstract:

This study was designed to investigate the relationship between retinol intake, bone mineral density, and falls in 101 elderly women aged 72 to 90 years (78.6 yrs. ± 4.3 yrs.). Bone mineral density (BMD) (g/cm²) of the left hip, anterior-posterior lumbar spine (L3), and lateral spine (L3) was measured using...

A prospective study of functional performance balance self-efficacy, and bone mineral density in community-dwelling elderly women

Creator:

Gunter, Katherine B.

Abstract:

In the United States, falls are the leading cause of unintentional death with one of every three people 65 years and older falling each year. Falls account for approximately 95% of hip fractures among older adults and falls to the side predominate hip fracture related falls in this population. However,...

The effects of impact plus resistance training on the musculoskeletal system in premenopausal women

Creator:

Winters, Kerri M.

Abstract:

Low bone mineral density (BMD) and poor stability both contribute to increased risk of fractures associated with a fall. The aim of this dissertation was two-fold. The first study, a cross-sectional analysis, sought to determine the anthropometric and/or performance variables that best predicted BMD and postural stability in mature, premenopausal...
